Lens has a vignette flare on bottom of frame when used in strong back lit situations.
I sent the lens in for repair, the repair shop had it for two weeks the first time, they could not replicate flare. Second time in the shop for 7weeks. Still couldn't replicate, but they never took it outside in the sunlight to test.
In between the two trips to the shop, Sony sent a loan lens for me to compare. My lens failed, the loaner did not.
Finally Sony offered an exchange. Waiting on delivery today.
Great lens for the money!

A great 85mm lens, especially for the price. I use it for videography and the 1.8 is great for low light. The only slight issue I have noticed with the 85mm is that it does struggle to focus more than my Sony 55 1.8. It can struggle in light but definitely in lore light. But not a deal breaker as I use manual a lot too.
Budget lens

Nice and sharp , good for portraits when you can't afford the G-Master series.

I love my new 85mm lens, it looks heavy, but it's surprisingly light, my images come out sharp and vibrant in color. It's a great lens for portraits, and when I took it to a car show, my images came out almost magazine like quality. Works great with my a7iv

The 85mm is one of the most versatile lenses that I own. It's sharp, it's fast, and it's well constructed. I definitely recommended this lens.

Use it on my Sony Ar7iii. Love this lens. Super sharp. Fast and accurate focus. Lovely skin tones. Just makes people look great. f1.8 is plenty fast for the work I do and gives good control over depth of field. Regardless of the shoot, I always take it with me.
The best Sony lens ever made

Don't waste your money on 3rd party 85mm lenses. The Sony 85mm f1.8 is all you need. Super shape and super accurate! You won't be disappointed.
